Total War: Arena Closed Beta Launches

The ‘Fury of Arminius’ update, the biggest to date, introduces a new faction, new Commander and new map to the team-based strategy game, Total War: Arena.

New Commander Arminius enters with a horde of fierce Barbarian units, bringing stealth, subterfuge and lightning hit-and-run tactics to the battlefield. The new map, Rubicon, is the first river crossing map in Total War: Arena, offering quick access to enemy camps at the threat of being caught out in the open. Caesar’s crossing of the Rubicon River marked a pivotal point in ancient history, and this new map with its open terrain and treacherous crossing marks new tactical opportunities for all factions – Roman, Greek and Barbarian alike.

In addition the update includes rebalancing, improvements and fixes following the wealth of feedback received during the Closed Alpha stage. Total War: Arena is free to play. To join the Closed Beta, sign up at https://playarena.totalwar.com/.
